PX24 — protective lubricant to defence industry standard

• Form factor: 400 ml, 500 ml aerosol / 5 L, 25 L, 200 L liquid
• Composition: blend of hydrocarbon solvents and corrosion inhibitors
• Applications: preservation, corrosion protection, moisture displacement, light lubrication
• Temperature range: from −20°C to +115°C

Purpose and functional properties

• Standard: developed to Def. Stan 68-10/Issue 5 (PX24)
• Purpose: long-term anti-corrosion protection, drying, and light lubrication
• Action: effectively displaces moisture, halts ongoing corrosion, and forms a thin, non-conductive protective film
• Penetration: quickly frees seized and rusted fasteners
• Approvals: Rolls Royce 1042E, AgustaWestland WHPS: 158
• Use cases: aviation, defence, servicing of gas turbine engines

Applications and typical tasks

• Treatments: long-term preservation, corrosion protection, drying of electrical systems, light lubrication, freeing rusted parts
• Materials: all metals (including aluminium); safe on most rubbers, plastics, and painted surfaces
• Surfaces: engine components, mechanical and electrical devices, tools, stored metal parts
• Industries: defence, aviation, automotive, metalworking, general engineering

Benefits in production processes

Technical properties

• Operating temperature: from −20°C to +115°C
• Surface behaviour: forms a thin (~1.65 µm), transparent, amber, non-conductive film
• Film appearance: transparent, amber
• Application methods: spraying (360° aerosol), brush, immersion

Practical benefits

• Military standard: compliance with Def. Stan 68-10 ensures consistent quality
• Corrosion protection: stops corrosion and prevents recurrence
• Electrical drying: rapidly displaces moisture, aids starting in humid conditions
• Versatility: combines preservative, lubricant, and penetrating oil functions

Limitations and recommendations

• Extremely flammable aerosol — keep away from ignition sources
• Prolonged immersion may swell certain rubbers or soften wax coatings
• Remove the PX24 film with suitable solvents before painting
• Use only in well-ventilated areas

Technical parameters and physico-chemical properties

Selection criteria for protective lubricants

Choose this product if:

• You require top-tier quality with compliance to military/aerospace standards
• You need reliable, long-term protection against corrosion and moisture
• You work with critical equipment in aviation, defence, or industrial environments
• You want a versatile product combining preservative, dryer, and lubricant functions

Do not choose if:

• You need a food-grade product
• You require a heavy/grease lubricant for high-load applications → Alternative: specialised greases
• You need a fluid that fully evaporates without residue
